Abstract
The article presents a panoramic view of the documents of the Conference of Latin American Bishops, held in Medellín, in the year 1968. Initially, it distinguishes the Medellín historical from the symbolic Medellín. He then recalls how the Assembly was well prepared and carried out in a participatory manner. Then, it demonstrates the relationship of continuity with Vatican II. On the other hand, Medellín was not a mere application of the Council, but a creative reception. At the core of the article, it is shown how the VER-JULGAR-AGIR method was used in the various documents of Medellín, in three axes: human promotion, evangelization and faith growth, visible Church and its structures. Finally, he dwells on two documents: Poverty in the Church and Liturgy. It closes with some open conclusions, of pastoral character.
